Beautiful first post, as always!

Fighter's Solo Version means Mika's solo version?

Yes. There are two standard versions of the single being released--one has a Mika solo (listed on the tracklist as Miliyah LESS) version of Fighter, and the other version of the single has a Miliyah solo (listed on the tracklist as Mika LESS) version.

Mika's official website was renewed yesterday and there's a countdown to sometime Monday now... pretty mysterious as it's also visible on Miliyah's website.
Rumors say it might be the PV

Also, the CD+DVD limited editions will get a special tall package. We'll know more in due time

[Corvina]

I`m really looking forward to this release!
The song is good, especially the verses. The weakest part is sadly the chorus, pretty messy. Though it doesn`t bother me that much.
Curious how the PV will be. Hopefully not just references to Spiderman or something. Glad we get some more info in Monday!

SPYAIR provided the theme song for the 1st Spiderman movie 2 years ago & when the PV for 0 GAME was 1st released , the footages of the movie were included

I think the same thing will happen for Fighter , wouldn't surprise me if that will be the case

But of course eventually when SPYAIR released/included the PV in both their single & album , the movie footages were not included but instead it's a full non movie promo related PV from start til finish

[aloopy]

Is the song 'Gift' a collab as well?

[Utena]

^ yup, it's been written by Mika and Miliyah once more

Yeah most likely, esp since it's a SONY movie ahah. We'll probably get the non movie version on the DVD though.

Now that you mention it , it's quite coincidental that both of them are managed under Sony haha

0 GAME was an awesome song in promoting The Amazing Spiderman in Japan 2 years ago & I have no doubt that Fighter will be able to carry on from where 0 GAME left

Utena, can I ask you something? How excited were you when you found out these two were collaborating? I know you're a huge Mika fan and I know you somewhat like Miliyah; so I can only imagine your reaction

[adantatu2]

Thanks for the thread, the first post is gorgeous

[Utena]

^ you're welcome

I totally freaked out honestly ahah!! I literally jumped everywhere, not even kidding. Mika and Miliyah have been my two favorites for years now, so yeah. I still can't believe it's happening, like.. for real?!!
I think my first reaction was "is that a joke or something?" 'coz a friend told me "omg Mika and Miliyah collaboration single in June!!" Then I checked the usual sources for new releases just in case, and there it was.. listed.. for real, with catalog numbers and all O_O;;
Every time there's something new about this collab I'm freaking out ahah I don't think I've ever been so excited for something, ever. (Ok maybe going to Mika's concerts topped it but still.)

But really, what were the chances? I didn't even know they were friends!! Total madness.

[brener]

[Benikari47]

The Miliyah CD + DVD cover is a contender for one the most awkward covers i've ever seen lol, looks like she decided to cut off Mika's arm while giving her best "dead horse" face

However, i'm really liking CD version!

[chocopockymaster]

The Mika CD+DVD version just straight-up SLAYED me. The short version of the PV looks promising too, tho I am NHF Spiderman, so I can't wait to see the full DVD version!

[KarenPang]

CD version of Fighter has leaked

[NintendoHTF1242]

I prefer the white clothes over the black clothes; but gorgeous covers!

[Bigtop]

I'm kind of confused...which one has the triple ear lobe piercing - Miliyah or Mika?
